Imperfect father, patriot and constitutionalist. Trying my damnedest to be less awful than most with "imperfect," "father," "patriot" or "constitutionalist" in their bios.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Q: "[Mike Johnson] is accusing you of trying to inflict political pain on your party...Is he right?"

Massie: "Is the pain that he's talking about that somebody in our party will be embarrassed those files?" That's not a good excuse...I don't really know what he means by that."

adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible.
"In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter,
J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing:
Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin β€” "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Best outcome of Birther II cases (albeit least satisfying, and politically second least likely): Scotus rules that by 1952, Congress understood "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" to mean everyone but diplomats for 8 USC Β§ 1401(a), so @USConstAmendXIV.bsky.social question is not ripe.

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

Protecting The Meaning And Value Of American Citizenship – The White House By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

First Felon thinks tourists, students, H1B holders, illegal aliens and kids aren't "subject to the jurisdiction" of US. So when does he spring Jose Ibarra, Danilo Cavalcante and other aliens from US prisons that supposedly have no jurisdiction over them? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If we had a textualist, originalist, constitutional conservative or strict constructionist Supreme Court, the Equal Rights Amendment is now the validly ratified 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution. We don't, though, so it probably isn't.

A quick note: It is my view that the term β€œFirst Felon” should be capitalized both out of respect and because it refers to a very specific individual.

Opinion | The Supreme Court’s β€˜no’ to Trump was dangerously close to β€˜yes’ In ruling 5-4, the high court showed how close it is to becoming a rubber stamp.

β€œThe fact that there were four justices prepared to block the proceeding bodes ill for the high court’s willingness to act as a check on Trump once he returns to office.”

Why? Because there was absolutely no credible reason to stop yesterday’s sentencing.

It would have been very defensible in court. For Trump to have prevailed he'd have had to shown that (1) there is a morally and reputationally significant difference between forcing your penis vs. finger into an unwilling victim, and that (2) Trump had a reputation to damage in the first place.

The ABC News settlement makes zero sense from a legal standpoint. It assumes there is a moral or reputational difference between forcibly penetrating a woman’s vagina with fingers and doing so with a penis. It also assumes that Trump has a reputation that could suffer damage.
